Album 15

[Lee]

My order with CD Japan is showing as ‘in shipping process’ so I guess (well, hope), that those of us who have ordered with them will be receiving our orders very soon.

Thank you in advance, I'm not very updated on this subject.

Dolby Atmos was introduced in 2012 and works with a 7.1 speaker setup, so you wouldn't get the full effect on a 2003 5.1 set up. Apple Music doesn't do physical discs, it's a streaming platform with offline download.

Did anyone get an email from Rough Trade saying their payment had failed?

I'll be miffed if one of my seven vinyls doesnt arrive

Yep I did. Think it's straightened out now though.

Thanks,
but other than a 7.1 setup, do I need a Dolby Atmos decoder? I currently listen to my 5.1 dvd via my decoder, which decodes DD and DTS. Do I need another one for Atmos?

I would expect so, have only seen Atmos associated with Blu-Ray and Ultra HD Blu-Ray players.

Got an email saying that my Blood Records order of ‘Critical Thinking’ has shipped.
Although I think this is just the label being created & it will actually be in the post tomorrow
It’s happening!

Sad no one is bothering to rip CD's or Vinyls into MP3's anymore these days. The album is out there. A decade ago, we would be watching that Radiohead-forum for weeks or exchanging 'very confidential RAR-files'.

Was very surprised to see that AtEase shuttered a few years ago. FD seems to be bucking the trend where forums dedicated to bands with larger fanbases have been put against the wall.

I contacted the seller of the Japanese 2CD version of the album and asked if I could have a rip of the album if I paid a bit extra on top of the price for the CD. Answer was no but at least I gave it ago. Very annoying because there were a few copies for sale.

It is certainly rarer and rarer, presumably with streaming services and less people using MP3 players or buying CDs. I know a few people who have the album now but can't see them rushing to Kazaa to share it!

Recently I managed to find an MP3 rip of a vinyl released just last year, no CD or digital release that I'm aware of and not something that seems to be in much demand, so it was a surprise, some people out there are still doing them but it's definitely dwindling.

I just don’t have the set up to rip vinyl or CD’s anymore. And a lot of newer audio devices come with less outputs/inputs etc which tends to make it harder, or expensive & time consuming to find the right ones.
Admittedly my knowledge has fallen behind on the subject, so apologies if I sound like a tech dinosaur

They’ve even included the tracking number on mine.

Looks like we may well get it a day or two early
